EDITOR’S PICK:

18th Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk (Sept. 25 @ 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Brookside Park, 360 N. Arroyo Blvd.). Join our community of animal lovers for the 18th Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk to raise funds for the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. This furry-friendly family event helps raise funds to provide food, shelter, and medical care to the nearly 12,000 animals that come to our shelter every year. Register today at www.wigglewagglewalk.org and start fundraising for the animals. Registration includes an event t-shirt, bib number, and dog bandana! If you register early, you will be invited to skip the registration lines at the event and check in early at PHS on Sept. 18. This leaves more time for expanded event festivities this year, such as more vendors, bounce houses, new exciting experiences, surprises from our friends at KTLA, and fun for the whole family. If you have any difficulties registering, please email our team at events@pasadenahumane.org and we’d be happy to help!
